Editorial Review:Amazon.com:Greatest Hits is the budget option for those who've concluded that two discs of Donovan is a disc too many and zero is one too few.
Troubadour, Sony's 1992 Donovan box set, boasts nearly three times the tracks this 15-song single-disc retrospective offers, but
Greatest Hits delivers what it promises: "Colours" and "Catch the Wind" from his folkie phase and "Mellow Yellow," "Sunshine Superman," and "Wear Your Love Like Heaven" from the lad's best-pal-a-flower-ever-had period. Also included are plenty more catchy folk-rock hits cut between 1964 and 1970 as well as four bonus tracks, including the delightfully earnest "Atlantis" and "Barabajagal," with the celebrated first-edition Jeff Beck Group providing backing. Donovan's blissed-out liner notes ("Whatever you think this song is about, it probably is") round out the package quite quaintly.

Some Amazon Reviewers say that the original hit versions are found elsewhere. Single versions, album versions, what do I know? I see that onovan wrote every single song on this collection, and although he may have been looking back to "Atlantis", he was looking forward to "Zeppelin". Also to Bon Jovi? (Could "Blaze Of Glory" be a tribute to Mr. DL?). To Mark Bolan and T-Rex? That one goes without saying.
Actually, names like Paul McCartney, Jeff Beck, and John Bonham do figure in the proceedings. ...

What great memories from days gone by. It is said that he is going back on tour. He may have been forgotten but no longer. I should have gotten this years ago. GREAT

A fine collection especially with the inclusion of 4 bonus tracks. With these this one CD captures all of Donovan's charted hits with the exception of Universal Soldier (1965/53) and his two songs from 1971 and 1973. All his top ten hits are included here when Atlantis is included as a bonus. Sound quality is superb. A great value buy.

In the early to mid sixties, Donovan was considered by many to be the UK's answer to Bob Dylan. While I think Bob Dylan has always been lightyears beyond Donovan in every aspect, I do enjoy alot of this guys stuff... although I don't even see him so much as a folk rocker, as alot of his stuff is very pop oriented. But always catchy, lighthearted fun. This album is one I've owned for a long time on record and have always enjoyed throughout. The CD version is expanded, and includes a handful of tracks that ...
